Two cars of world's fair exhibits
passed through The Dalles this morning
en route for Chicago. A strip of muslin
a yard wide and thirty feet long desig
nates their contents. On the first is
marked: "Oregon World's Fair Exhi
bit Agricultural Department." This
is a box Car and the contents could not
be observed . The second was a flat car,
labeled like the former, substituting for
"agricultural," the words "Forestry
Department." The exhibit will be very
handsome. All varieties of the various
woods of Oregon, so far as known, are
represented, besides the different kinds
of shrubbery, and plants in boxes,
among which is our state flower, the
ilex-leaved rnahonia.
At one end of the car there is a sec
tion of sugar pine 9 feet in diameter, and
on the other a section of fir 6 feet in di
ameter, which looks like it was cut
about 15 feet from the ground. There is
a section of Norway pine 5 feet in diam
eter, and sections of cedar, spruce, black,
white and yellow pine, tamarack, hem
lock, and oak, maple, ash, alder, in fact
all kinds of trees that grow in Oregon.
There is one plank of spruce 3 inches
thick, 10 feet long and '6)4 feet wide
without a knot or gnarl in it. A good
deal of fine lumber is in cases, and some
lumber which is four feet wide which is
boxed.
If the contents of the car which could
not be seen were as good as that in view,
the eleventh hour exhibit of Oregon
will be very creditable.

Editor Chronicle :
Mr. Hard wick has bought him a team.
The wheat is looking fine and bids
fair for a good crop.
The Rev. Mr. Ireland is grubbing on
the Shepard 40, preparatory to making
him a new home.
Mr. Lee Evans has grafted about seven
thousand Italian prunes. Over twenty
thousand have been grafted here in
Mosier, altogether.
The Hunter brothers and their fami
lies, including Albert Sevady, are going
to Portland for the summer. We are
sorry they are going, for they are good
neighbors.
There will be preaching in the new
schoolhouse, district No. 23, three Sun
days iu each month. The second and
fourth Sundays by Mr. Wilson, and the
third, by the Rev. Mr. F. Ireland.
In view of the fact that I had an invi
tation to visit your office, I thought I
would step in and tell you what a beau
tiful snow storm we had this morning.
The air was filled with flakes as large as
five cent pieces. It looked lovety, and
to the casual mind would cause deep re
flection. There will be a Sunday school organ
ized here in the near future, not a de
nominational, but a union Sunday
school. All are cordially invited to
come and help to make a good school.
Last Sunday we heard a very good ser
mon on the primitive state ot man (by
Mr. Wilson), also a good refreshing
draught of temperance, which did our
very souls good ; nothing so exhilarating
as the pure aquis hydra.

The Dalles, April 13, 1893.
Editor Chronicle : A correspond
ent, signing himself "Citizen," sends
the following communication to the
Wasco Sun :
"The action of Councilman T. N. Joles
at the last meeting of the council of this
city is to be commended. We need re
form in the expenses of the city, as well
as in many other respects, and it would
now be in order, as it is just before a
city election, for our water commission
ers to rise and explain why they are
paying over $1,500 a year for the super
intendent of the water works, when they
could have secured a first-class man who
would have given good bonds, for $900.
These are matters that are affecting the
prosperity of the city, and now that an
election is coming on soon our people
ought to know about them."
If I were a member of the water com
mission, Mr. Editor, I would rise
promptly and explain that "Citizen,"
like most of the other "reformers" of
these degenerate days, is either ignorant
of what he is talking about, or he uses
the truth with miserly frugality. The
water commissioners are not paying
$1,500 a year "for the superintendent,"
but the more modest sum of $75 a
month, and no honest, competent man
ought to be offered less. Nor are these
matters "affecting the prosperity of the
city," that is to say adversely, in the
most remote degree, whereas cheap and
incompetent officials are dear at any
price. No one, I suppose, questions the
sincerity of Councilman Joles in his
effort to reduce the salaries ot city
officers ; but the wisdom of the move
ment may, in part at least, well be
questioned. The salaries paid are, on
the whole, as low as those given for sim
ilar service in any town on the Pacific
coast. It is needless to say that the
offices could be easily filled with cheaper
men. Of course they could. "Citizen"
himself, being a "reformer," would
probably not object to a place at the
municipal crib. Most "reformers" are
built that way. But the city wants
good men and competent, and these
qualities will not accept small remun
eration except under pressure of neces
sity, and then only while necessity lasts.
Wiser far to pay fairly generous salaries,
and insist on thorough competency and
efficiency. This is the opinion of
Another Citizen.

Some Indians came in town this morn
ing with two bear cubs, which they were
leading around to the unbounded amuse
ment of the small boys, to say nothing
of the big boys. They were later bought
by Mr. Bronson for $5. The cubs are
females, and have not vet been quite
weaned, refusing food dear to the taste
of an adult bear, with unappreciated
dignity, but they will drink all the milk
offered them. They have not mingled
in civilization very long, and are dis
posed to be retiring as yet.

Fl REPROOFING IS POSSIBLE.
Bat Combustible Material Is Often Heed
lessly Used In Buildings.
Scarcely a- week goes by, says a
writer in the Engineering Magazine,
that one or another of the journals de
voted to architecture does not contain
some article by experienced and able
writers bearing upon the fireproofing of
buildings, and, without doubt, there
could be formulated from these articles
a system of principles that would be
thoroughly efficient to meet the re
quirments. In the attempt to discover
right principles, the advice and assist
ance of the now noted fireproofing com
panies should not be neglected. The
demand was no sooner created for a
science of fireproofing than it was im
mediately met by the formation of
companies for the very purpose of sup
plying it. The new industry, with ex
perience as its teacher, has developed
year by year until at the present
moment there is not a first-class archi
tect or engineer in the country who
will deny that an absolutely fireproof
building can be built, and at a reason
able cost. Yet fires of the most dis
astrous character are constantly occur
ing in buildings advertised by their
owners as fireproof. It is not surpris
ing, therefore, that a large element,
probably a vast majority, of the entire
community doubt the possibility of
constructing an absolutely fireproof
building. It is an incontrovertible
fact that every fire which has taken
place in a ' 'fireproof" building has been
due to the indiscriminate use of com
bustible material in its construction;
moreover, it may be demonstrated that
fireproof material could have been sub
stituted for the material burned at a
cost not exceeding twenty per cent.
